Re: ERROR: Invalid command: debug

Hi,

I eventually solved my problem. It was due to a wrong entry in the rules file.

I had something like:

$PROVIDER  $DEST_IP_ADDR  -   ${IF_LAN}.111
$PROVIDER  $DEST_IP_ADDR  -   ${IF_LAN}.112

where $PROVIDER, $DEST_IP_ADDR and ${IF_LAN} were the same.

The error message was not clear enough, so I wanted to try the trace
and debug options in case I encounter more of these misconfigurations
in the future.

I ran:

# shorewall trace check
   ERROR: Invalid command: trace

The man page says:
shorewall[6] [trace|debug] [options] [check | ck ]  [-e] [-d] [-p] [-r] [-T]
                    [-i] [directory]

# shorewall version -a
shorewall-core: 5.2.8
shorewall: 5.2.8
shorewall6: 5.2.8
shorewall-init: 5.2.8

Incidentally, I get this output when I run the following:

# shorewall debug check
   ERROR: Invalid command: debug

Same message as in my first post.
So, are "debug" and "trace" system or Shorewall-specific commands that
have not been installed in my OS?

Thanks,

Vieri
